ABOUT

What are you most proud of?
My family.

What makes Legend Seeds different?Regional and independent, we can bring products to the farmers that work in their specific geography or operation through our replicated research. Many national brands cannot say that with confidence!

Experience: I grew up on a farm just north of Geneva,
Minnesota where we raised corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and beef cattle. I completed
my undergraduate in Ag Business and Agronomy and finished my bachelor’s degree
at SDSU in Agronomy. Following school, I immediately become a Legend Seeds
dealer and started a business as a private crop consultant. I did that for two
and a half years and then I found a permanent home with Legend Seeds as an
agronomist. I did custom grid soil sampling, custom scouting and worked with
farmers on their business plans and developing cash flow reports. Today, my
wife operates our Legend Seeds Dealership, Viktora Seeds, and we enjoy working
together. The most rewarding part of my job at Legend Seeds is helping growers
reach the highest yield possible at an economic level. That probably comes from
my background as a consultant and working with farmers on cash flow and
production planning. We always ask, “If we add this $5/acre thing … and only
break even after three years … then we don’t need to do it!” I’m very
economically minded! When we do something, I always want to make sure that we
get a good ROI.

Before opening a bag of seed, be sure to read, understand and accept the stewardship requirements, including applicable refuge requirements for insect resistance management, for the biotechnology traits expressed in the seed as set forth in the technology agreement that you sign. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation to comply with the most recent stewardship requirements.

Do not export Genuity Roundup Ready Alfalfa seed or crop, including hay or hay products, to China pending import approval. In addition, due to the unique cropping practices do not plant Genuity Roundup Ready Alfalfa in Imperial County, California, pending import approvals and until Monsanto grants express permission for such planting.

As of this printing no dicamba herbicide product has been approved for commercial in-crop use with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans. DO NOT APPLY DICAMBA HERBICIDE IN-CROP TO Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans in 2016 unless you use a dicamba herbicide product that is specifically labeled for that use in the location where you intend to make the application. While no in-crop use of dicamba is currently approved, some dicamba products may be labeled for weed control prior to planting a crop and subject to minimum plant back restrictions. IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW TO MAKE AN IN-CROP APPLICATION OF ANY DICAMBA HERBICIDE PRODUCT ON Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans, OR ANY OTHER PESTICIDE APPLICATION, UNLESS THE PRODUCT LABELING SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES THE USE. Contact the U.S. EPA and your state pesticide regulatory agency with any questions about the approval status of dicamba herbicide products for in-crop use with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans and follow all pesticide product labeling.

Respect the Rotation is an initiative to elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.
